Complex heart blockages. Expert solutions in Melbourne.
Tired of living with angina or being told your arteries are "too difficult" for stents? Our interventional cardiologists specialise in Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) and complex PCI using the latest technology — intravascular lithotripsy, rotablation, IVUS and OCT.
Minimally invasive. Faster recovery. Covered by your private health insurance.
Avoid major bypass surgery
Many of our patients return home the same or next day — no sternotomy, no months of recovery.
Advanced calcium treatment
Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy cracks hardened plaque so stents can expand properly.
Precision imaging
IVUS and OCT let us see inside the artery in real time — for optimal stent placement and durable results.
Private insurance advantage
Choose your specialist, skip public waitlists. We work with all major funds and often offer known-gap billing.
Two specialists. One focus.
Highly experienced. Deeply caring. Focused exclusively on complex coronary work — not general cardiology.
Dr Nilesh Mehta brings extensive experience in high-volume complex PCI and CTO procedures to Melbourne. Trained in advanced hybrid CTO approaches, rotational atherectomy and intravascular imaging, he has helped hundreds of patients avoid bypass surgery and regain their quality of life.

View profile"I was told nothing could be done."
"I was told I needed bypass surgery. After CTO PCI with Dr Mehta using shockwave technology, I'm back cycling with my mates in three weeks."
"Two cardiologists had refused to even try. The team here reopened my artery in one procedure. I haven't had angina since."
"Home the next morning, walking the dog by the end of the week. I cannot recommend the team highly enough."
Covered by your private health insurance
If you hold Silver or Gold hospital cover including "Heart and vascular system", your procedure is typically covered — theatre, hospital stay, and most specialist fees. We help you maximise it.
